• The Wire comes to life

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 6 23:34:13 2024
    A man in Toronto was recently arrested for assaulting pro-Palestinian protesters with a nail gun.

    [There's something goofy about this video because it starts and ends
    with footage of the perp but the middle part is a completely different
    event that apparently happened in another city or country involving a
    man trying to go to an event in which property was being sold in
    Israel. In case you think one or both events were fabricated by Al
    Jazeera, I've seen multiple stories in legit websites about the guy
    with the nail gun so that really happened.]

    If you're wondering about the reference to The Wire in the subject, I
    want to remind you about the scenes in Seasons 4 and
    5 where Snoop was killing people for Marlo Stanfield with a nail gun
    that she bought at a big box store that was a thinly-veiled Home Depot.

    So far, the guy in Toronto hasn't killed anyone though. I'd be VERY
    interested in knowing if he was inspired by The Wire in his choice of weapons....
